Comfy overnight stay

Large very clean room with nice en-suite shower and wc. Room also had a small table and chairs and sink with kettle, tea, coffee and cutlery and plates. Bed was very comfy. Only two small things. Loose towel rail and toilet seat not fully secured. Jackie on check-in very helpful with any information we needed including helping us with bus information and where to eat.

Lovely little hotel in Woolston, Southampton just an 8 minute drive to Ocean dock for P&O. The room was spotless, the bed soft and comfortable and the check in couldn't have been simpler. Highly recommend this hotel for an overnight stay.

Room was musty and smelled damp when we first arrived which we thought would clear but never improved for the time we were there despite windows and doors open. 2nd bed wasn’t even a proper bed, just a mattress on a base barely 8” off the ground and when lifting the mattress to check for lost toys, we found it to be mouldy! Towels extremely hard and coarse and alwere clearly very old. Bedding and pillows smelt musty and bowls and cups provided were covered in a thin layer of dust. For a “deluxe en suite” I expected much better and there was no way I could’ve stayed more than 1 night. Staff were very friendly and helpful but the room was poor and at £130 a night it needs serious improvement, or at the very least a good clean.

We stayed for two nights, the room was nice, modern and clean, and the host was friendly during check-in. While the accommodation felt secure, I'd have to say there was quite a lot of noise from the other guests, partly because the corridor is an echo chamber, with a fairly sizeable gap at the bottom of the door that sounds travel straight through. (The other guests' behaviour obviously isn't the host's fault, but between slamming doors, having full volume conversations in the corridor at almost midnight, and yelling while using the bathrooms, they managed to make it a rather restless night). I think it would be really good to carpet the corridor between rooms to muffle some of the noises, or attach a muffling/brush strip to the bottom of the door. It's worth saying there is a train which regularly passed quite close too, this was less of an issue for us than the other guests, but probably not ideal for light sleepers. So maybe bring earplugs, because it's a nice room with a really comfortable bed, just other people doing their best to spoil it.

Check in was quick and easy, the only problem for me was hauling my bags up the outer staircase. The room was clean and reasonably spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the en suite shower room was also clean. Jacqui was very pleasant and helpful, and I would happily stay here again.

If you need a clean room for a night before a cruise and don't want to spend the $300-400 per night that hotels closer to the cruise port charge, the Swan Inn is a good option .Rooms are sparsely furnished but they have everything you need, including a kettle and coffee/tea.The only downside is that there are very few restaurants around the hotel. We took an Uber to downtown which is only a few miles away.

Lovely hotel, unfortunately had a power outage when we woke up in the morning, not the hotels fault, as it was down the the storm in the area. It would have been a good gesture to have notified us what the issue was and kept us informed. Otherwise, a great stay, comfortable, clean and very convenient.

Great place to stay

Great for short stay over. We stopped overnight on our way to a cruise holiday with family. Had 2 double en-suite rooms. Very clean. Met the housekeeper she was lovely and chatty. We contacted the hotel weeks before and mentioned the eta and they had our rooms ready for 2pm check in. There is a pub underneath they allow to order food or bring your own in to eat in there. There is a garage over the road that also serves cold sandwiches and snacks. Another pub a little walk away that does food and has an outside area. The swan inn is on a very busy main road and has limited parking spaces. Was well worth the money. We caught a bus outside the garage into Southampton town centre for a shop and lunch took 15 mins and drops off outside too, saved driving in during the day family ticket £5 all day, this includes 5 adults or adults and children up to a group of 5.

Close to cruise port but we did have to stand in the rain because we didn’t have access to our room until the owner came to open for us. Very nice staff and rooms were super clean. Prices were reasonable compared to big named hotels. We always like to stay at smaller inns to get the feel of the neighborhood. Great neighborhood pub. People all super friendly and the locals went out of their way to welcome us and visit!

Good size room. Clean, neutral and modern.

Very much enjoyed our stay, really really friendly, the rooms are a great size, with everything you need included, the decor and furniture is clean, neutral and modern. I personally would have liked an extra pillow, which may have been provided should I have asked, overall it’s great value. I would rebook
